Definitions
- the present invention is directed to in situ hybridization methods using nucleic acid probes for single copy sequences for detecting chromosomal structural abnormalities in fixed tissue obtained from a patient suspected of having a chromosomal structural abnormality.
- the probes can be labeled with either a radioactive or non-radioactive label.
- cancer On a genetic level, cancer is the result of the accumulation of multiple genetic changes on a cells DNA. Each alteration, whether an initiating or a progression-associated event, may be mediated through a gross chromosomal change and therefore has the potential to be cytogenetically visible.
- the common tumor chromosome aberrations are generally classified as structural or numerical. Structural alterations include translocations, inversions, deletions, insertions and amplifications, whereas numerical abnormalities are losses or duplications of whole chromosomes.
- Tumors analyzed for chromosome aberrations are broadly classified by cytogeneticists as hematological, which include leukemias and lymphomas or solid which include carcinomas and sarcomas.
- proto-oncogenes Two classes of genes are implicated in cancer. Some cellular genes (the proto-oncogenes) can be activated by dominant mutations. A proto-oncogene can be converted from a normal cellular gene to an oncogene by a variety of submicroscopic events including point mutations, small insertions and deletions and juxtaposition to other chromosome sequences. This last event can be visualized cytogenetically as a translocation or inversion.
- tumor suppressor genes The second type of tumor genes, often referred to as tumor suppressor genes, has been isolated to date only from solid tumors. Like oncogenes, these are also normal cellular genes. However, tumor suppressor genes contribute to oncogenicity through their loss rather than through their activation, and both copies must be inactivated for tumor formation to occur. Again, there are a variety of submicroscopic mutational mechanisms by which this can occur. These are detectable at the DNA level as loss of constitutional heterozygosity in tumor DNA. Loss of the entire gene, the region of the chromosome, or even the entire chromosome will also achieve this end, and in the case of a tumor suppressor gene these chromosome deletions and losses may be detected cytogenetically.
- the prognosis of malignant or premalignant lesions is in many cases correlated with the quantitative and structural aberrations in the genomic content of the disease.
- the N-myc gene while not a classic proto-oncogene in that it does not have a homolog carried by an acutely transforming retrovirus, is grouped with the proto-oncogenes, because of its homology with C-myc.
- the N-myc gene was first identified in human neuroblastoma cell lines where homogeneously staining regions (HSR) on chromosomes or double minute (DM) chromosomes were frequent. In these cell lines there is a 25 to 700-fold amplification of the N-myc gene.
- Amplification and/or increased expression of this gene has been found in untreated primary human neuroblastomas, retinoblastomas, glioblastomas, leukemias and carcinomas, such as small cell carcinoma of the lung. Amplification of the gene in primary neuroblastomas was found to correlate strongly with rapid disease progression and poor clinical prognosis, independent of disease stage at diagnosis. Thus, amplification of the N-myc gene appeared to be more prognostic than clinical staging of the disease.
- ERBB2 (Her-2/neu) oncogene, which codes for a 185 kDa transmembrane growth factor receptor, is amplified and/or expressed in 15%-25% of breast carcinomas. Association of ERBB2 amplification and over-expression with rapid proliferation, low estrogen receptor content, and high grade of ductal carcinomas suggests that this oncogene plays an important role in the progression of breast cancer. Therefore, techniques such as flow cytometry (FCM), karyotyping and molecular techniques have been developed for the detection and characterization of such genetic changes, which may be central to the initiation and progression of neoplasms.
- FCM flow cytometry
- karyotyping karyotyping and molecular techniques
- FCM Flow cytometric
- morphometric analyses of cells isolated from fresh tumors or nuclei isolated from paraffin blocks have become methods for a rapid and objective screening of malignant tumors to determine the DNA index of the cells.
- An increase in the DNA index of certain malignancies is regarded as a prognostic parameter.
- Chromosome analysis of cancer cells by karyotyping facilitates the identification of small deviations in chromosome content and chromosome structure.
- chromosome analysis of solid cancers is in general only possible after the previous culturing of the isolated tumor cells which may result in a selective growth of cells with the highest mitotic index and loss of chromosome material. Growth of biopsy tissue under tissue culture conditions is not advantageous because the tumor contains some normal cells and it has been observed that normal cells grow faster in such conditions. Thus one cannot make an accurate determination of the percentage of tumor cells to normal cells in the biopsy.
- analyses are often hampered by the small number of recognizable metaphases, the lack of chromosome spreading, poor banding quality, and a condensed or fuzzy appearance of the chromosomes.
- the multiple molecular techniques such as DNA sequencing, Southern and Northern Blotting, RFLP analysis and PCR make it possible to study genes, their copy number, structure and the regulation of their expression. These techniques have identified different genes involved in cancers, like proto-oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes. Although the sensitivity of these molecular techniques is high, partially as a result of the large amount of starting material, no information is obtained at the single cell level, and heterogeneity within a tumor is often difficult to detect.
- ISH In situ hybridization
- interphase cytogenetics refers to the cytogenetic analysis by means of ISH applied to non-mitotic cells.
- chromosome specific repetitive DNA probes in combination with the ISH technique enables the detection of numerical and large structural chromosome aberrations in both metaphase spreads and interphase nuclei.
- repetitive DNA probes are not specific for the particular gene that is interrupted or altered by the deletions, translocations, inversions or amplifications. Thus detection of the chromosomal abnormality may not be possible if the repetitive DNA sequence being detected is not included in the chromosomal structural abnormality. Thus micro-abnormalities may not be detected.
- the present invention has advantages over the prior art methods of diagnosing chromosomal structural abnormalities in cells from fixed tissue, including providing clear-cut positive/negative results and detection of the abnormality with a far greater accuracy.
- this invention is directed to a method for detecting a chromosome structural abnormality in a cell derived from a fixed tissue sample obtained from a patient suspected of having a chromosome structural abnormality which method comprises the steps of obtaining a fixed tissue sample from said patient; digesting the fixed tissue sample with an effective amount of proteinase; performing in situ hybridization on cells obtained from the digested fixed tissue sample with probes to single copy sequences in the critical chromosomal region; comparing the signal pattern of the probes to the tissues to a predetermined signal pattern for the probes obtained from performing in situ hybridization on cells having a normal critical chromosome region; and detecting a chromosome structural abnormality in said critical chromosomal region of the patient's cells.
- the method of this invention further comprises pretreating the fixed tissue sample with an effective amount of sodium bisulfite.
- this invention is directed to single copy probes selected from the group consisting of MYCN-113F7, ERB-5H8, ERB-7E11, ERB/Her-25A12 and ERB/Her-2F11.
- FIG. 1 illustrates the signal pattern of the chromosome alpha satellite DNA probe to human placental tissue or liver tissue by in situ hybridization.
- FIG. 1A is human placental tissue without sodium bisulfite
- FIG. 1B is the same tissue after treatment with sodium bisulfite
- FIG. 1C and 1D is liver tissue without or with sodium bisulfite treatment, respectively.
- FIG. 2 illustrates the signal pattern of MYCN-113F7 (FIG. 2A) or the chromosome 15 probe (FIG. 2B and 2C) to neuroblastoma tissue.
- FIG. 3 illustrates the signal pattern of the chromosome 15 probe (FIG. 3A) and the chromosome X alpha-satellite DNA probe (FIG. 3B) to human bladder carcinoma tissue and normal tissue.
- This invention generally relates to in situ hybridization methods for the identification of chromosomal structural abnormalities in fixed tissue using probes for single copy sequences.
- Fixed tissue means biopsy tissue which has been preserved by placing it into formalin, buffered formalin, paraformaldehyde, or equivalent preservation solutions. In some cases the fixed tissue will also be placed in paraffin in preparation for cutting with a microtome.
- Probe for a single copy sequence means a probe containing either single or double stranded DNA or RNA which is complementary to and accordingly binds with single copy DNA sequences in the critical chromosomal region. It is contemplated that the probe for a single copy sequences may contain some repetitive DNA sequences. However, such repetitive DNA sequences will be competed out under the conditions disclosed herein for in situ hybridization such that the probe will only bind to the complementary single copy DNA sequence. Probes suitable for in situ hybridization are preferably in the range of 1,000 to 1 ⁇ 10 6 nucleotides long, more preferably 1 ⁇ 10 4 to 2 ⁇ 10 5 nucleotides long. Even more preferably, the probes are MYCN-113F7; ERB-5H8; ERB-7E11, ERB/Her-25A12; and ERB/Her-2F11.
- a "probe for repetitive DNA sequences” means a probe containing either single or double stranded DNA or RNA, which is complementary to and accordingly binds with repetitive DNA sequences such as Alu, LINES, variable number tandem repeats, di-, tri- and tetrameric repeats and alpha-satellite DNA sequences.
- the critical chromosomal region is that region of the human chromosome which is associated with a specific chromosomal structural abnormality related to a disease condition, such as cancer, or a genetic disease. Suitable critical chromosomal regions may be 1p36; 2p; 3p12-14; 3p21-25; 4q11-32; 10q; 11p15; 11q13; 13q12-22; 16q22-24; 17p12-13; 17q; 18q and 22q. Preferably this region includes either the N-myc (2p) or Her-2/neu (17q) chromosomal regions.
- chromosomal structural abnormality refers to alterations in the DNA of the chromosome arising from translocations, deletions, inversions, duplications or amplifications. It is contemplated that this method may be used to detect point mutations and therefore a chromosomal structural abnormality may include point mutations in the critical chromosomal region.
- Proteinase means any proteinase capable of digesting mammalian tissue.
- the proteinase is proteinase K.
- Probes useful in isolating probes for a single copy sequence for use in in situ hybridization may be obtained by a variety of technical methods known in the art.
- One method utilizes chromosomal microdissection of the critical chromosomal region, followed by digestion with an appropriate restriction enzyme, and ligation of the resulting fragments into a vector which has been appropriately digested, or by direct PCR amplification of the microdissected fragment.
- Microdissection as used herein refers to the microscopic dissection of a region of a chromosome.
- Probes may also be generated by direct oligonucleotide synthesis from known sequences, for example using an Applied Biosystems (Foster City, Calif.) DNA Synthesizer (Model 380b).
- Probes can be isolated randomly from a suitable library and analyzed through RFLP analysis or in situ hybridization methods disclosed below to determine whether they are suitable. Alternatively, if DNA probes are known which represent DNA markers in close proximity to the critical region, for example from commercially available sources such as the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC), all or part of these DNA probes can be used to isolate critical region DNA probes which contain all or part of the probe as well as DNA from the critical region.
- ATCC American Type Culture Collection
- Sequence tagged sites for PCR screening of the libraries can be developed using DNA from appropriate probes which have been isolated and sequenced by standard methods.
- a preferred method of sequencing is by dideoxy sequencing, preferably using the Sequenase® version 2.0 kit (United States Biochemical Corporation, Cleveland, Ohio).
- STS as used herein, is a Human Genome Project-related concept which relates to the systematic development of PCR primers to various human genomic regions, designed to facilitate information exchange and dissemination.
- Probes suitable for screening libraries to identify clones in the critical chromosome region may be in the range of 10 ⁇ 10 5 to nucleotides long, more preferably 30 ⁇ 10 4 to 1,000 nucleotides long, and even more preferably 10,000 to 1,000 nucleotides long.
- Probes to screen libraries containing DNA sequences from the critical chromosomal region may be DNA or RNA.
- Probes may be directly labeled with any detectable label known in the art, including radioactive labels such as 32 P, 3 H, and 35 S by methods known in the art.
- Libraries useful for screening regions associated with the chromosomal structural disorder include any genomic library obtained from a normal individual, which library contains fragments from the critical chromosomal region. Especially useful libraries are those which utilize a vector in which large DNA fragments from the critical chromosomal region can be inserted. Examples of appropriate vectors are yeast artificial chromosomes (YACs) and cosmids.
- the library may be generated by any method known in the art, such as flow sorted libraries. Such libraries may be commercially available or available from particular research institutions.
- Libraries may be screened using any method known in the art.
- One preferable method of screening YAC libraries is by PCR, using a procedure such as that of Green and Olson (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci., 87:1213-1217) followed by a final positive colony identification using a PCR based matrix pooling strategy such as that employed by Kwiatkowski et al. (1991, Nucl. Acids. Res., 18:7191-7192).
- Another preferable method is screening by hybridization on conventional Southern Blots. Transformed cells can be stamped onto a nitrocellulose or nylon membrane, transferred to an agar plate and then pooled.
- DNA can then be isolated from these pooled cells, digested using a restriction enzyme, and run on an acrylamide or preferably an agarose gel and blotted.
- cells on the membrane may be grown, lysed and treated by methods known in the art so that hybridization with the probe can be conducted.
- Cosmid libraries may be screened by stamping transformed cells on nitrocellulase or nylon membranes and transferring the membranes to an agar plate for incubation overnight. The cells can then be lysed on the membrane, denatured, and hybridized to the probe by methods known in the art.
- the Southern Blots or membranes containing lysed cells can be screened with probes generated by the methods discussed above. DNA fragments from positive cells containing the vector with large chromosomal inserts can then be analyzed to determine whether they are located within the critical chromosome region by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis of the clones followed by Southern Blotting and hybridization with the original probe.
- Probes suitable for use in in situ hybridization are preferably in the range of 1000 to 1 ⁇ 10 6 nucleotides long, more preferably 1 ⁇ 10 4 to 2'10 5 nucleotides long.
- the ability to isolate large clones in the critical chromosome region provides better probes for in situ analysis, particularly by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH).
- Probes may be DNA or RNA.
- the probes are fragments from the critical chromosome region, more preferably they are from clones MYCN-113F7, ERB-5H8, ERB-7E11, ERB/Her-25A12 and ERB/Her2F11.
- multiple probes spanning the critical chromosome region may be used. These multiple probes may be overlapping, or may be positioned with the 3' end of a first probe directly adjacent to the 5' end of a second probe. Alternatively, these probes may not span the entire critical chromosomal region, but may span a sufficient sequence to detect whether a chromosomal abnormality is present.
- the probe may be labeled with a detectable marker by any method known in the art. Preferred methods for labelling probes are by random priming, end labeling, PCR and nick translation, but nick translation is preferable. For nick translation, probes may be treated with a restriction enzyme to reduce the size of the DNA, treated with DNase I, and labeled. Labeling is conducted in the presence of DNA polymerase, three unlabeled nucleotides, and a fourth nucleotide which is either directly labeled, contains a linker arm for attaching a label, or is attached to a hapten or other molecule to which a labeled binding molecule may bind (Boehringer Mannheim, Indianapolis, Ind.).
- Suitable direct labels include radioactive labels such as 32 P, 3 H, and 35 S and non-radioactive labels such as fluorescent markers, such as fluorescein, Texas Red, AMCA blue (7-amino-4-methyl-coumanine-3-acetate), lucifer yellow, rhodamine, and the like; cyanin dyes which are detectable with visible light; enzymes and the like.
- radioactive labels such as 32 P, 3 H, and 35 S
- non-radioactive labels such as fluorescent markers, such as fluorescein, Texas Red, AMCA blue (7-amino-4-methyl-coumanine-3-acetate), lucifer yellow, rhodamine, and the like; cyanin dyes which are detectable with visible light; enzymes and the like.
- non-radioactive labels in this invention is particularly surprising because the art recognizes that such labels are less sensitive than radioactive labels and accordingly, typically require hundreds of copies of the chromosomal structural abnormality in the tissue sample being analyzed for detection of this abnormality.
- Fluorescent markers may alternatively be attached to nucleotides with activated linker arms which have been incorporated into the probe.
- Probes may be indirectly labeled by the methods disclosed above, by incorporating a nucleotide covalently linked to a hapten or other molecule such as biotin or digoxygenin, and performing a sandwich hybridization with a labeled antibody directed to that hapten or other molecule, or in the case of biotin, with avidin conjugated to a detectable label.
- Antibodies and avidin may be conjugated with a fluorescent marker, or with an enzymatic marker such as alkaline phosphatase or horseradish peroxidase to render them detectable.
- Conjugated avidin and antibodies are commercially available from companies such as Vector Laboratories (Burlingame, Calif.) and Boehringer Mannheim (Indianapolis, Ind.).
- the enzyme can be detected through a colorimetric reaction by providing a substrate and/or a catalyst for the enzyme. In the presence of various catalysts, different colors are produced by the reaction, and these colors can be visualized to separately detect multiple probes. Any substrate and catalyst known in the art may be used.
- Preferred catalysts for alkaline phosphatase include 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolylphosphate (BCIP) and nitro blue tetrazolium (NBT).
- BCIP 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolylphosphate
- NBT nitro blue tetrazolium
- the preferred substrate for horseradish peroxidase is diaminobenzoate (DAB).
- the fixed tissue is placed in paraffin for sectioning on the microtome.
- the tissue could be sufficiently frozen so that it can be cut in sufficiently thin sections on the cryostat. It has been determined that sections of 3 microns to 4 microns are preferred for in situ hybridization.
- sodium bisulfite is added to the fixed tissue as a pretreatment step prior to proteinase digestion and the hybridization step.
- sodium bisulfite means sodium bisulfite or sodium metabisulfite.
- an effective amount of a sodium bisulfite composition e.g., a solution of sodium bisulfite in water
- an "effective amount of a sodium bisulfite composition” is that amount added to the tissue which is necessary to improve the signal such that a probe for single copy sequences can be detected.
- the amount of sodium bisulfite composition added is dependent on the type of tissue which is being pretreated and the length of time of fixation. Without being limited to any theory, it is believed that the longer the tissue has been fixed the greater the amount of sodium bisulfite composition which should be added to the tissue in the pretreatment step.
- the sodium bisulfite composition is a solution of sodium bisulfite in a compatible aqueous solvent such as water, 2 ⁇ SSC, and the like. More preferably, the amount of sodium bisulfite added to the compatible solvent is from about 10% to 30%.
- Table 1 shows the amounts of sodium bisulfite which have been determined to be effective amounts for certain tissues. One skilled in the art could readily determine the amount of sodium bisulfite to be added to a tissue not listed in Table 1 by adding various amounts of sodium bisulfite and observing the level of background remaining after in situ hybridization.
- tissue sections are then treated with an effective amount of a proteinase.
- the proteinase is proteinase K available from Boehringer Mannheim.
- the time required for proteinase digestion of the tissue section will vary depending on the type of tissue. Certain tissue sections are more resistant to the effects of proteinase digestion than others. This may be due to the tissue type or length of time of formalin fixation. It has been found that normal tissues are more refractory to protein digestion than tumor material derived from the same tissue type. Table 1 above illustrates the time required for proteinase digestion. The length of time will vary depending on concentration and type of proteinase employed. An "effective amount of proteinase" is that amount which will digest the tissue sufficiently such that a probe for single copy sequences can be detected. One skilled in the art could readily determine the length of time required for proteinase digestion and the effective amount of proteinase required by observing the level of signal obtained with in situ hybridization.
- Hybridization of the detectable probes to the cells is conducted with a probe concentration of 0.1-500 ng/ ⁇ l, preferably 5-250 ng/ ⁇ l.

- a denaturing agent such as formamide
- non-specific human DNA preferably derived from the placenta, which is used to block repeat sequences.
- the non-specific DNA is added at a concentration of 100 ng/ ⁇ l-2 ⁇ g/ ⁇ l, more preferably 0.2-1 ⁇ g/ ⁇ l, and most preferably 0.25-0.5 ⁇ g/ ⁇ l to compete out any repetitive portions of the probe.
- the DNA in the tissues and the DNA probes are denatured either independently prior to hybridization or simultaneously.
- the denaturation is carried out by placing the tissues or DNA probes into a hybridization solution preferably containing a denaturing agent such as formamide and heating from 70° C. to 95° C.
- a denaturing agent such as formamide
- the concentration of formamide is from about 30% to 70% , more preferably 40% to 60%.
- the temperature at which the tissues are held in order to achieve denaturation will vary according to the concentration of the denaturation agent.
- hybridization is carried out at 25° C.-45° C., more preferably at 32° C.-40° C., and most preferably at 37° C.-38° C.
- the time required for hybridization is about 0.25-96 hours, more preferably 1-72 hours, and most preferably for 4-24 hours.
- Hybridization time will be varied based on probe concentration and hybridization solution content which may contain accelerators such as hnRNP binding protein, trialkyl ammonium salts, lactams, and the like. Slides are then washed with solutions containing a denaturing agent, such as formamide, and decreasing concentrations of sodium chloride or in any solution that removes unbound and mismatched probe.
- a denaturing agent such as formamide
- the temperature and concentration of salt will vary depending on the stringency of hybridization which is desired. For example, high stringency washes may be carried out at 42° C.-68° C., while intermediate stringency may be in the range of 37° C.-55° C., and low stringency may be in the range of 30° C.-37° C.
- Salt concentration for a high stringency wash may be 0.5-1 ⁇ SSC (0.15M NaCl, 0.015M Na citrate), while medium stringency may be 1 ⁇ 4 ⁇ , and low stringency may be 2 ⁇ -6 ⁇ SSC.
- the detection incubation steps should preferably be carried out in a moist chamber at 23° C.-42° C., more preferably at 25° C.-38° C. and most preferably at 37°-38° C.
- Labeled reagents should preferably be diluted in a solution containing a blocking reagent, such as bovine serum albumin, nonfat dry milk, or the like. Dilutions may range from 1:10-1:10,000, more preferably 1:50-1:5,000, and most preferably at 1:100-1:1,000.
- the slides or other solid support should be washed between each incubation step to remove excess reagent.
- Slides may then be mounted and analyzed by microscopy in the case of a visible detectable marker, or by exposure to autoradiographic film in the case of a radioactive marker.
- slides are preferably mounted in a solution which contains an antifade reagent, and analyzed using a fluorescence microscope. Multiple nuclei may be examined for increased accuracy of diagnosis.
- ISH on paraffin sections as compared to ISH on isolated tumor cells can be summarized as follows: (1) chromosome heterogeneity (e.g., tetraploidization) can be detected within a tumor; (2) focal tumor cell areas with chromosome aberrations can be recognized in the sections and be correlated with the histologic appearance; (3) discrimination between stromal, inflammatory cells and tumor cells is possible; and (4) no selection of cells occurs as a result of the cell disaggregation procedure.
- chromosome heterogeneity e.g., tetraploidization
- a 1.0 kb DNA fragment representative of exon 2 in the N-myc gene was used to screen a total human genomic cosmid library, ONG1.
- ONG1 is a cosmid library constructed at ONCOR which has an average human insert size of 38.0 kilobase pairs. Construction of this cosmid library was as follows: High molecular weight DNA was prepared from 300.0 milliliters of peripheral blood from a Caucasian male volunteer by protocols similar to DiLella and Woo (1987) "Guide to Molecular Cloning Techniques," Methods in Enzymology, 152:199.
- the DNA was partially digested with Sau3A restriction enzyme and size fractionated in a linear NaCl gradient (DiLella and Woo, Ibid.) DNA averaging 30.0 to 45.0 kilobase pairs was ligated into the BamHI site of the SuperCos 1 (Stratagene, La Jolla, Calif.) vector utilizing protocols similar to DiLella and Wood (ibid.)
- the ONG1 library consists of 2.7 ⁇ 10 5 cosmid clones ( ⁇ 3.5X genome equivalent) maintained in the E. coli laboratory host strain DH5 ⁇ mcr.
- the ONG1 library was high density arrayed on nylon membranes using a Biomek 1000 Automated Laboratory workstation (Beckman Instruments, Fullerton, Calif.). The membranes are incubated overnight on agar plates to allow the transformants to grow. The colonies were lysed on the membrane; the DNA denatured and the membranes hybridized to the 32 P labeled 1.0 kb DNA fragments representing exon 2 of the N-myc gene. This method identified one cosmid (MYCN-113F7) with an approximately 38 kb human insert. The cosmid was labeled with biotin-16-dUTP (Boehringer Mannheim, Indianapolis, Ind.) by nick translation.

- Six positive clones were isolated from the LA17NC01 library and fingerprinting analysis with EcoR1 and HindIII single and double restriction enzyme digests was conducted.
- Four overlapping cosmids (ERB-5H8, ERB-7E11, ERB/Her-25A 12, ERB/Her-2F11) were identified. These cosmids were labeled by the methods previously described in Example 1 and used collectively for fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH).
